Once that part was done, I looked at the sweater and figured out where else I’d like a little tiny bit of colour, to balance out the ‘design’ and make it seem intentional, like it came from Anthropologie or something.

I like the amount of colour I ended up with- it feels like just the right amount, especially with the stripes. Once cashmere sweater saved, Another two to go!

Another option is to needle felt over the holes which I have done (well, in addition to embroidery where my dog ate a hole through a newly purchased wool coat). Perhaps combine the two for some interesting texture?

So glad you posted this. Before I started knitting I ended up giving a way two sweaters that I loved that were moth eaten. Never again! I know how to protect them and repair them if needed now thanks to you! Brilliant!
